The main features of the project were : a low profile, a good armored compared to the size, and a good fire power guarantee by the use of the 75 mm. anti tank gun. Further more other important developing drivers were the possibility to produce easily and at a low cost. The Hetzer entered in service in the second half of 1944 and it was extremely effective and lethal even against the most powerful Allied tanks.
